You wonder, if so much of the media hadn't been busy whoring itself out to the Soviet Union for years, would they have been so amendable to total domination by the US government in the wake of the Soviet Union's collapse?
It might have been more difficult if the US hadn't decided to attempt to turn itself into the Soviet Union, of course, so maybe it's just that US media types see the power and prestige of Pravda and just can't help themselves...
Because the journalists who aren't explicitly partisan propagandists are just mercenaries. Once more the US security state turned towards their ideological bias, they became more amenable. They didn't like Bush (and they still challenge the DOD), but once Obama came in they literally refused to accept that he could do any wrong, and that's when a lot of news outlets just started straight up hiring security agents for "advisrors", "experts", and "contributors".
Other than that, their bias came from investments from Fabian Socialists in Europe (note they've never once stopped jizzing over Angela Merkle despite being the effective dictator of Germany for almost 2 decades, and fell in love with Tony Blair (despite his association with George Bush). The other investments came from China which is why they've been claiming that the US will be overtaken by China in military, diplomatic, political, and economic power in 10 years for the past 20 years.
